[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesichtaffe:
Hey there,

I wanted to S-OFF my HTC Desire using alpharev.

Unfortunately I didnt read that this wont work when you were on a GingerBread Rom :( Which I was ....(GingerVillain).

I'm stuck in HBOOT now (0.80.0000)

Recovery Mode doesn't work either (red exclamation mark)

Tried several RUUs always got Error 131 wrong user-id

Unbranded my Desire with a Goldcard a year or 1.5 years ago. ( Was on Vodafone Germany before)

Anyone got an Idea how to solve this problem?

Cheers

Tried flashing a new recovery image using android-sdk and fastboot.

But then I get this error :

D:\android\tools>fastboot flash recovery b.img

sending 'recovery' (3398 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

probably because my desire is S-ON

?

:(

In Voltage Control, go to the Voltages tab and scroll down and click the white 1200Mhz icon. That should work for you.

I have just got up and running well with Calks 1.5 and want to change the battery script in /system/etc/init.d to let me have full speed until 50% battery rather than 85%. I can't get anything to save my changes though. I have tried Root Explorer, Astro and ES File Explorer and they all fail to save. I have used Root Explorer to change the permissions so that the file is writeable by all, and mounted the directory as r/w, but no dice. Can someone give me a clue where I am going wrong please?

ok so, i just rooted my phone and that went fine. did it with the stock rom, but after I did that I installed clockwork mod. well, i tried to do a back up of the current rom and when it rebooted it crashed. now it comes up to the android system recovery screen but it won't let me select anything...... can anyone help?!?!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogeretla:
i am freaking out here... did i brick my phone?!?!?! anyone????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
I don't know why you're having a problem or what caused it but you certainly didn't brick your phone. You can always flash a new ROM in clockwork or use odin to flash the stock .tar.

edit: missed the part about not being able to select anything in recovery. All is not lost, just flash the stock EG31 .tar with odin and you'll be fine. You're gonna have to reroot and set everything back up again (I've done it twice today) but at least you will still have a phone. Try just flashing the kernel first, maybe you can get it to boot without losing anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogeretla:
everytime i reboot the phone it just comes back to this android system recovery screen. it's blule, at the bottom is says manual mode. and something sucsessfull but, it won't let me selelect any of the options and it keeps booting to this screen... where can i download odin? i keep seeing stuff about that, i guess i need to flash to a rom or something....

edit: cool, yeah.. can you show me where to download what your talking about??

thank you!!

Is there a way to prevent the LED from turning on when its bright outside? I know that on the stock rom that their is a feature where it turns on and off automatically and is wondering if theres a feature/ mod for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
You can set the light levels manually for the screen and the buttons when you have auto backlight on, but the button levels don't seem to have any effect. Not sure why, I'd also like to know the answer to this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
While I don't have an answer for this, it has been proved out the battery drain from the touch buttons being lit up is near negligible.

The touch button lights being on with bln, at least for the time being, doesn't cause battery drain, it's the process that turns them on for a notification that drains the battery.

So I guess that was a long way to say, why do you want them off?

Hi all.

Been round here for a while now (loved my HD2) and have finally got my SGS II to where I want it.. But I have a really annoying issue I can't seem to get my head round.

I'm running basitas fox hound rom with go launcher and its trimmings.

My problem is this, I love go locker but I'm having issues with the home button unlocking to my desktop... :(

Kind of defeats the object if having a lockscreen all together..

Its there any way to disable this? I either want it to turn the screen on (ala power burton) or disable it if I have to...

I've been through the settings so many times now I'm going cross eyed lol

Any one with any words of wisdom?...

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

(apologies if this is in the wrong area

)

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Wow...

Even a "I have the same issue" would of sufficed..

Never mind, just have to make do with the pattern lock then...

Thanks...... :(

No issues here with go locker

Hi,

I use the go locker since I god my SGS2, but my home button doesn't unlock the phone.

Are you sure it's go locker's issue?

Maybe it's a feature of your rom?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] THUDUK:
Tried lots of roms with go locker all have the same issue, contacted go developers, they are sorting it out in future version

By the way also had an hd2, loved that phone
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Saisuay:
Use Jkay ( uncheck double home click action) then enable Go locker.

Go locker will replace Jkay lockscreen and no more home button issue

However, when you restart phone, Jkay will be over Go locker for 1st time; meaning you have to unlock your phone twice. This will happen only after reboot( is ok for me). After that, everything is normal again

Note that after the 1st you lock the phone, its normal that you will see Jkay over Go locker. But after that, everything will OK. Try yourself then you understand what im talking about
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Legend! :D

Saisuay, Thank you so much! :D:D:D

Worked a treat! I thought I had it working for a while, must have ticked it by accident (thinking it would help the double home buttontap app to access the camera app direct)

My Steam punk theme is complete! lol

Try Saisuay's method (If you have a rom with Jkay installed) :rolleyes: ;)

HD2 will always have a special place in my heart. Think more than anything for the awesome people I got to meet, you all know who you are ;):cool:

klukiyan, lol I think I was a bit more "click Happy" than you! lol :D

Thanks for the Help guys ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] Sailor Jerry:
Now, from what I can gather, this problem stems from a faulty or dirty Micro-USB port. I tried compressed air, but it did nothing for me.

I decided to do a complete unroot, S-ON, factory restore and call HTC to see if I could get it fixed. To my surprise, the problem vanished. Thinking I had lucked out and that fixed it, I re-rooted the phone and the problem still didn't reappear.

Then, thinking I would start small, I flashed a Sense kernel. As soon as I rebooted it went straight to Car Home and began answering in speakerphone. For laughs I went ahead and flashed MIUI then CM7, both of which exhibited the same behavior.

After all of this, I got to wondering just why the stock ROM and kernel worked but nothing third party would. Then it hit me that all the 3rd party stuff I had been using were DHD ports, and not based off the Inspire. I downloaded and flashed ClearDroid, which has an Inspire base, and the problem is once again dormant.

The only sense I can make from it is that HTC has implemented some kind of fix for shoddy USB ports in the Inspire kernel.

So now here's the question: Does anybody know anything about this, and would it be possible to implement said fix in, say, and AOSP kernel?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
When you flash a Rom there is a folder created called data on the root of your phone. This contains many files that control various settings on your phone. There is a file in particular where cardock settings get synced in data/data/Com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. When you sign in with your google account some of these settings get restored to the mode in which you had it in when you wiped your phone. This is what causes some people to think that parts of their old Rom are bugging out their phone, I guess in a way it is, but its googles fault. The car dock is getting resynced to being on even though you haven't done anything. In order to fix it you must use SQL editor to open the database and look for the carmode or dock settings and set them back to 0. Once you do this it the next time the phone autosyncs it will save your newer settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Also Im pretty sure when your rooted this setting will take effect as to where a nonrooted phone doesn't allow the permission to execute the command.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sailor Jerry:
I'll try that, but I can completely wipe my phone (cache, system, data, d-cache), flash CM 7.1.0, and without even logging into my Google account it happens.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
After searching it seems this is a common problem with the phone. Some people where able to fix it and some where not. Even when it does go away for a while it will re emerge and get worse.

Some of the fixes are

1. turning airplane mode on for 10 min and then shutting it off

2. Changing chargers(dont ask me)

3. Blowing out port which you said you tried.

I am still not 100% its not some internal issue but why even bother if the hardware is malfunctioning.

I would start the warranty process and get it replaced.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Backing up to the beginning.....Are you flashing ROMs or kernels? Seems to me you are flashing ROMs but keep using the word kernel.

Why not just remove the car dock app from the ROM or use Titanium Backup to freeze it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sailor Jerry:
Both.

With the stock ROM and kernel, everything is fine. With the stock ROM and a DHD-based kernel it happens. With any AOSP ROM it happens.

Removing the Car Dock app keeps it from launching, but the phone still defaults to speakerphone for all calls (incoming and outgoing).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sailor Jerry:
The problem about warrantying it is when it's in a stock state, it works fine.

I've never dealt with HTC, but I can't exactly see it going over well if I call up and say "My phone acts funky when I run CyanogenMod".

The airplane mode fix is something I haven't heard before. I guess I'll give it a go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Flazell:
Hello everyone. I'm looking to root my son's Incredible 2, though I have a couple questions. First, what does "S-Off" mean? Also, what would be a ROM to use? Basically I would like a de-bloated stock set-up. (I want to start him out slow) I've owned a DX in the past and rooted, ROM'd, OC'd, etc to that. Currently I have a Bionic that I have rooted, plus I changed the system version to 893. But seeing how they were both Moto devices, it seems the HTC's are a bit different.....or maybe not? Just looking for a step in the right direction. Thank you in advance for any help, it's much appreciated.

:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chattguy:
First of all, look at menu>settings>about phone and see which version of Android OS you're running. if you're running 2.3.4 I don't think it's possible yet. I could be mistaken, but yeah. Look up that info and if it's 2.3.3 or older than you should be able to root it via Revolutionary. Just search for that in the forums and you should be on your way.

EDIT: Actually there seems to be a way to do it if you're on 2.3.4 by following the instructions here.

As far as a basic debloated stock ROM, I think that Skyraider and Virtuous would be good options.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Flazell:
Thank you chattguy, I will check out the OS when he's done messing around with the phone. Also, what does "S-Off" mean? I keep seeing that, even in your signature....just curious. Thanks again, I appreciate the help.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ki3t1995:
S-OFF is the process of removing the security lock on the bootloader, allowing you to gain root access to the file system of the phone. Your phone needs to be S-OFF in order to root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Flazell:
Thanks ki3t1995, much appreciated!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ki3t1995:

[Captivate General] dbs179:
Hi all,

I need a bit of advice. My wife and I have had the Captivate since this time last year. We came over from the iPhone 3G to the Captivate and loved the amount of tweaking you could do. From the beginning, I went through 4 phones in the first month with the random shut down issue, but my Wife's was fine for the first six months she had it. She is on her second Captivate now and is having problem after problem. Alarms not going off, random shut downs, wi-fi not turning on/off, phone won't dial a number and won't hang up when you try to end the call, phone takes for ever to start up on a reboot, drops network and won't reconnect without re-starting and so on. Needless to say she is pretty frustrated with it and wants to get something different and is leaning back to the iPhone. I am having some issues with mine all similar to what she is having, but not nearly as often. We are both running the stock Froyo, but rooted.

I have a few questions:

1. Would you suspect this to be a problem with the hardware or something maybe a ROM could fix? If a ROM could fix it, any suggestions for a reliable ROM? (I've flashed ROM's in the past to mess around, but haven't kept up with them in over a year.)

2. Is this a common problem with Android (i.e. not reliable)?

3. If it isn't a common problem of Android not being reliable, what other new Android phones from AT&T are good.

Sorry for all of the questions, and thanks for any input.

Dave
[Captivate General] joebw:
I've been on custom ROMs for a long time now, and I've noticed that they are often faster, have better battery life and depending on the ROM you choose, can be more reliable than stock. I'd give it a try, since worst case, you can go back to stock or trade the phone in anyway.

I'm currently using the Illuminance ROM and it is very good. Pretty reliable, fast and excellent battery life.

Other older roms that I've used are Pinnacle and Cognition. All 3 of these offer a smooth stock experience that's not too flashy with radical themes or anything.

Good luck!
[Captivate General] jhogal1:
1. ask yourself this questions do u like tweaking stuff, if so go with android. else apple or windows

2. i have captivate for about 15 months now, i have never had random shutdown issues, so random shutdown could be mostly software related. I'm running cyanogen7 and its like new phone altogether. pure android experience

3. new android phones that are coming out are much stable than the older phones, bcoz phones like captivate have been rushed to market to survive the Apples rally.

if u want pure android experience go the Galaxy nexus (the latest android from Google). with google phones u can be assured that your os will upgraded as soon as Google releases latest OS. i have heard pretty good reviews about Ice Cream sandwich
[Captivate General] CuriousTech:
What's Froyo? :)

A clean install of a hot new ROM will give it new life. It shouldn't be unstable though. Maybe it's all the bloatware and apps installed or some files got corrupted. Backup first but try not to reinstall as much as possible if you go with a new ROM. No system data should be restored on a different version anyway.
[Captivate General] MJHawaii:
If your due an upgrade do so and do some research on new phones as far as fixing problems the cappys always have had minor issues a new rom with a clean install works cm7 or cognition
[Captivate General] studacris:
Cm7's battery life is garbage. The cm team themselves will admit that. It doesn't contain the proper hardware drivers from Samsung. you guys might want to mention that before suggesting that to a noob...

op Sounds those problems sound all software related. I would flash a leaked gingerbread stock firmware as a baseline, then if all is good you could stick with that or flash a custom gingerbread ROM over that if you wanted a more tweaked experience.
[Captivate General] Liferules:
Agree with what the others have said... try upgrading to a Gingerbread ROM. There are several out there, most all of the JVT ones are very mature and stable. The latest KK4 ones are pretty nice as well but just being released so maybe not the best 1st choice.
[Captivate General] rflnc1:
I somewhat disagree..I found all the gb Rome to be less than stable, maybe cuz they use so much ram. That being said I put a custom froyo on mine before I donated it to my father-in-law and he hasn't had any trouble out of it. Also, att's policy is if you have went through 3 phones during your warranty period you can get it replaced with another model..you may have to ask.
[Captivate General] capocaccia:
I have to say, the GB roms lack of stability is directly related to the lack of source code for the captivate gingerbread rom.

If you are looking for a stable Froyo experience go with Andromeda3. Ive been on it for months now and really have enjoyed it.
[Captivate General] dbs179:
First, thanks to all of you for the input and advice, I appreciate it.

I did end up flashing I897UCKK1 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread from the Stock ROMs sticky over the weekend. So far so good. It seems to be working well and the phone seems much more responsive, to the point that I'm thinking of doing the same with my phone as well. I'm going to test it out on the wife's phone for a month or so, but I hope this fixes all of her issues and saves me from having to get her something new.

Thanks again,

Dave
[Captivate General] Liferules:
If you like the stock GB ROM, you'll love Illuminance 3.0--very fast, great battery life, and smooth.
[Captivate General] leezrd:
Or try pinnacle 1.3 close to stock, fast, and great battery life.
[Captivate General] Liferules:
Agreed about Pinnacle--very reliable and a favorite of many.
[Captivate General] wildnux:
You might also want to give a try with cyanogenmod 7, I liked it more than other roms. But it may depend on your choice. Thats the beauty of android, you have choices and most of them won't let you down. :)
